    Anthropic are nice, but cultists who think they are raising their own machine god for them to worship.

      They don’t believe it, it’s just a way to keep to hype machine going just a little bit longer.

        Eh, I’m not 100% sold on that. All most all of them come from the Effective Altruism/Longtermism cult which was obsessing over AI (to the extent that they were taking positions where it was moral imperative to do harm now in order to bring about billions of AI “lives” sooner) long before LLMs were a thing.

        I don’t doubt that it is partially about the money, but a lot of them are honest believers in summoning the machine god.

          this is hilarious because you all seem like cultists from over here.

          the altruism thing has always been a dodge to avoid responsibility / sell the lie that everyone will benefit, which is impossible. if you believe it you’re dumber than a box of rocks.

          it’s entirely about the grift, why do you think there are racks of gpu’s sitting around aging like fine piss?

          what a bucket of dumb
